Haiku Poem | SLJ

Today I did a haiku poem for the Summer Learning Journey.

A haiku poem has three sentences and each sentence has syllables. The first sentence has five syllables and the second sentence has seven syllables and the last sentence has 5 syllables. 

My poem was about waves, first I got an image of a wave and put that on the draw then though about my sentences so that first sentence would have 5 syllables and the second sentence would have 7 syllables and the last sentence would have 5 syllables. 

I enjoyed this because I had a lot of creativity of what to do and it was fun doing my first haiku poem.

Kowhaiwhai | Step up

 Today I did the  Kowhaiwhai  pattern but the step.

I really enjoyed doing the step up because I got to use two different deigns.
